Whenever I boot my machine and login for the first time (whether I login as root or my own personal account), I either get a LONG pause (right after the motd prints out, and right before my .login/.cshrc is executed). And since I recently got dial-on-demand PPP set up, the PPP connection also dials out during this long pause. This is kinda annoying, to say the least, and I would like to eliminate the long pauses and net dialing right after login, if possible. Has this something to do with syslog trying to send messages out through the network, when a user logs in? I thought so, so I tried "turning off" syslogd (I commented-out the line that starts syslogd in /etc/rc), but that did not do the trick. Has it something to do with the fact that I'm using tcsh as my login shell? Basically, what I'm trying to find out is, "What is going on here?" and "How can I fix it?" I apologize for the vagueness of my questions and my problem description, but to tell you the truth, that's all I know about it. Any response (by e-mail and/or to the mailing list) is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
